Trainor pulled the Get It Girl Tour on Thursday, citing a three-month-old baby and a family she wants to be in — the second cancellation in a week the industry will pretend is not a pattern.
People and Rolling Stone led with the newborn; Variety noted the June 12 start date was sixty days out.
Trainor fans accepted the family frame; music-business X read ticket velocity and blamed the calendar.
Meghan Trainor announced on Thursday that she was canceling the entire Get It Girl tour, which was to open June 12 at Pine Knob in Michigan and run across more than thirty North American dates through August. [1] She cited her three-month-old daughter, Mikey Moon, born in January, and wrote on Instagram that adding the tour "to our growing family of five has just been more than I can take on right now." [2]
The stated reason is the reason. Trainor has two sons under six and a newborn; a summer tour at that scale would have meant a nanny bus and four months away from Chase Center and Chase Field and everywhere else she was booked. [3] She will refund tickets automatically through point of purchase.
The quieter story is the week. Rezz pulled her Coachella Weekend 2 set on Monday for health. Trainor canceled her tour on Thursday for family. Billie Eilish showed a 3D concert film at CinemaCon on Friday to a room of exhibitors who know a sold-out tour is a floor, not a ceiling. These are three Los Angeles artists with three different reasons and one common sentence: the economics of the road in 2026 are such that staying home, or filming what you already shipped, is now rational when before it was not.
Ticketmaster will process the refunds. The Pine Knob amphitheater will book someone else for June 12. The business will not flinch. But three cancellations in five days, from three artists at three career stages, is a reading.
